Teeth-Grinding Anger!

Grr! Well, I probably shouldnt get so mad, but this thing has been kicking my butt!!!

Consider: There are 99 achievements in the Xbox 360 version of the Orange Box. I have all but 5. 3 of them are skill related for portal and involve getting bronze, silver and gold medals for all of the challenges, like least time, least portals, and least steps, as well as the advanced maps which were madness to begin with! The other 2 are for Half life 2 episode 2. One I havnt really attempted yet, and it involves saving all the buildings from destruction as waves of enemies come at you. Sounds daunting. The other I have woorked on for weeks now. It involves squishing grubs. I kid you not. Get Some Grub is the most challenging achievement I have ever seen, and thats counting taking the gnome through the whole game! This achievement spans 2 levels. You must kill 333 grubs. They hide so well! If you miss even 1 you have to start all over again! I have attempted this achievement about 14-18 times, and play to try again as soon as I get this posted.

In lighter thoughts, I got a messager chatpad! All you on my contacts list now feel free to talk to me whenever I am on! I also got this sweet gamercard that keeps track of all sorts of stuff about me. It has my gamerscore, my latest games, and my reputation on xbox LIVE. With my chatpad, I am now seriously ready for Facebook and Twitter to get on LIVE!!! Yeah!
